The Roman Martyrology commemorates St. Louise de Marillac (1591-1660). She was born in 1592, and married in 1613. When her husband died she made a vow of widowhood and devoted herself entirely to works of charity. St. Vincent de Paul, who became her spiritual director, gradually initiated her into his own charitable works for the poor and afflicted, and in 1639 they founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity to which St. Louise dedicated the rest of her life. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI on March 11, 1934.

The vicar general of the Latin-rite Archdiocese of the Mother of God at Moscow called for an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine.

“I would say that people in Russia, Catholics also, have the same attitude towards the conflict that we have,” Father Kirill Gorbunov said in an interview with Vatican News. “It must end.”

“All the countless lives lost during this conflict speak for themselves,” he added. “The violence speaks for itself, and the desire is that it must come to a conclusion. This conclusion must be a just and lasting peace, and this is the hope, the expectation of Russian Catholics.”
